APOS Solutions - Governance & Compliance

Governance is a means of controlling outcomes to ensure they do not violate rules and rights. The forms of governance within a corporation are essentially nested and overlapping:

Corporate

Regulatory

Information Technology

Information

Distribution

Data

APOS well managed BI solutions assist with all forms of governance as they relate to your SAP BI and Analytics deployments and the solutions integrated with those deployments.
Compliance is specific to regulatory bodies and industries. APOS solutions have compliance applications with regard to:

Administration tasks and processes typical involve many granular system changes that can have far reaching system impacts. When executed manually, as is typically the case, human error is common, and associated controls are compromised. By automating administrative processes, APOS Administrator removes significant risks, and tightens controls and governance over your system management.

Administrator allows your BI team to do more in less time, dramatically increasing their productivity, and liberating them to perform higher ROI tasks, such as ensuring corporate, IT, information and data governance principles are applied across your BI deployment.

APOS Storage Center

APOS Storage Center is the core technology that makes a system storage strategy possible. Your system storage strategy is one of the keys to enforcing corporate, IT, information and data governance, giving you control over the content on your system, while preserving documents in their many versions for long-term availability and regulatory compliance.

You can use Storage Center's automated, business-rules-driven, intelligent system clean up capabilities to secure your content, with versioning, and in neutral formats that are not dependent on often-changing data sources.
Storage Center's promotion and system replication capabilities assist governance by ensuring orderly transitions of content between deployments

Storage Center's selective restore capabilities allow you to restore content to its original location, or to a new location of your choosing. So, in the case of events such as audits, you can restore the content to be audited - and only that content — to a location separate from other potentially sensitive content.

APOS Publisher for Cloud

APOS Publisher for SAP Analytics Cloud automates processes for bursting personalized SAP Analytics Cloud stories to end users. Dynamic, security driven processes with strict filters help administrators ensure users receive only the data to which they are entitled.

Because APOS Publisher allows you to send SAP Analytics Cloud stories in neutral formats such as PDF, it gives you the ability to create documents of record to achieve your governance and compliance objectives.

APOS Intelligent Data Access Controller (IDAC)

APOS IDAC (Intelligent Data Access Controller) extends the BI administrator's control of data processes beyond the BI system to the data sources themselves. IDAC gives you the ability to monitor and manage queries from your BI system to all of your enterprise data sources.

IDAC lets you perform sensitive data audit by allowing you to track access to information at the field level, providing granular information security, compliance and governance.

APOS Validation Manager

The APOS Validation Manager provides efficient report testing for strong SAP BI system change management controls. Report testing is an integral part of your BI change management processes, and Validation Manager's automation of report testing enables you to improve the scope and depth of your testing processes, remove risk by removing potential for human error, while automatically documenting the changes in your reports, as well as their adherence to governance standards.
